I am less concerned about fragmentation than shoughing. I believe that as a cast bullet mushrooms and expands in soft tissue the edges tend to slough and the nose mushrooms out again and again. The results show in the lesser weight of the recovered...

What was I thinking!! Or was I thinking!!
three 60 lb foundry ingots of pure lead for $100. Heck, probably could have got it for $80. Don't use pure lead much, so passed it by. Heck, I should have bought it, cast into small ingots and sold...

As said, good comfortable shoes and socks, notepad (you will not remember where that item was, trust me on this!!), I use a fanny pack that also holds bottles of water and granola bars, tylenol if you need it (my age I do), plenty of money (some...

Thanks guys. Does anyone make any type of target sights that will fit these bases? I have another centennial edition that doesn't have a scope and was wondering if I could set it up as an iron sight rifle.

At an invitation from good friend Harter66 I hunted at the independance ranch outside of Gonzales TX spring before last. Good prices, decent food, bunkhouse accomodations and a real good time. 500 acres of fenced hunting mostly from stands with a...

How much velocity do you NEED? 30,000,000 bison were killed with cast bullets moving about 1250 fps. Comparing a 45-70 to a 357 magnum is akin to comparing bison to whitetail deer. Have fun. For me, I would co6nsider a boolit heavier than 158 in a...

For elk and moose, I would recommend nothing under 260 gr. I wouldn't even consider the 200-220 gr. range. Off angle shots may not give the penetration you want. IF you are going to push beyond factory velocities for cast, better have a good rifle...

I had one of those I bought used in 1996 for $250. It was LNIB. I sold it in 2014 for $475, after having put about 2500 rounds through it, mostly castings of #311041 and #311291 flavor. It was a good, solid little carbine--and only went down the...

If your after coastal brown bear I would not expect a jacketed bullet to work for both nor a cast. With both cast and jacketed you need to structure for performance. At minimum you need two. RCBS 200 or one of it's clones is good for deer up to...

Hey guys,
Picked up another Lyman Centennial edition Ruger #1. I am looking for a rear scope ring for it. It didn't have one with it when I bought it, and was missing most of the accessories that came with it as well. Anyone know where I can get...

...............I'd picked this mould up many moons ago and haven't even warmed it up yet. I'm in the process now of inventorying all my moulds and would like to know what this one is supposed to be. Looks like a 30/31 cal, maybe 160/180 gr RNGC.

IIRC--the Pachmayr Presentation grip sets for the Ruger Blackhawk and Super Blackhawk add about 1/8" to 1/4" to the overall length of the plow handle grips present on those models. I am about 75% sure that Ruger Blackhawk "PachPres" grip sets also...
